Pierce Tosses One-Hitter
For ChiSox Over Browns
By CARL LCNDQUIST
New York, (UR) Billy Pierce
the first player who came to
the White Sox in a five year
rebuilding program that start
ed in 1948, celebrated the sec
ond one-hitter of his career
today but he was no more
joyful about it than his big
boss, Frank Lane.
Pierce, the 26-year old
"Dean" of the youthful White
Sox, is the oldest player in
point of continuous service
with them, and, if he continues
to pitch as he did in his 1 to 0
triumph over the Browns yes
terday, he might personally
bring Lane's pennant time
table to fulfillment.
Pierce was fierce yester
day as he mowed down the
Browns to duplicate the one
hitter he pitched against the
Yankees In 1949. But he had

next week.
Spivey, a former University

nesday when a year-old per
jury indictment against him
was dismissed.
Assistant District Attorney
Vincent A. G. O'Connor told

one witness was dead, another
refused to testify and the re

Spokane Indians Loaded
With Phillie Optionees
(This is one In a aeries on
prospects of teams In the
Western International
League.)
By BOB JOHNSON
(Spokane Chronicle Sports Writer)
Spokane, Wash. (IP) New,
young and different!
That, in a nutshell, sizes up
the Spokane Indians for 1953
as they prepare for the West
ern International League sea
son. This year the Indians begin
what Spokane officials hope
will be a long and happy asso
ciation with the Philadelphia
Phillies. It will be the Phils
who will supply much of the
talent the Indians hope to put
on the field.
To make room for the Na
tional League club's optionees
Spokane did considerable ros
ter cleaning during the winter
leaving only five holdovers
from last year's club that bat
tled in second place during
most of the season. '
Returning from a mound
staff that was rated with the
best In the loop in 1952 are
rookie let than d e r Jack
Spring and Gordy Palm. In
Spring the Indians hope they
have Spokane's next major,
leaguer.
The Phils have already
shipped some mound talent but
more is expected If and when
the need arises. George New,
who won 12 and lost 16 for
Tri-City last season, Is on
hand.
Another WI leaguer of ear
lier vintage, lefty John Cor
dell, who "iron-manned" the
Indians to a pennant In 1948 is
giving pro ball another try
Other promising moundsmen
include Clyde DeWltt and Dick
Descalso, Phil farm hands just
out of military service; Bill
Franks, former Pioneer lea
guer; Carroll Yerkes, Nick
Buonato, Art Worth and Mike
Shade.
Spokane's Infield will be
three-quarters new with only
shortstop Wilbur Johnson re
turning. The Tribe has re
ceived first sacker Carl Bush
and third baseman Jim Com
mand from the Phils. Re
placing handy Jim Brown at
second will be Andy Ander
son of Silverdale, Wash., who
saw action wit hthe St. Louis
Browns in 1948 and 1949.
Other infield candidates in
clude Dave Hammermeister, a
former uonzaga University
third sacker: shortstop Ed
Coleman, formerly of Washing

ton State, and Ray Coley from
the Phils. He's a third sacker.
Things look particularly
bright in the outfield where
Eddie Murphy returns to pa
trol centerfield. The fleet
footed flychaser, who set a new
league stolen base record in
1951 with 90 thefts, wiU be
flanked by Will Hafcy and ei
ther Bob Byrne or Bill Holland.
Hafey, the league's home run
king with Wenatchee In 1951,
is expected to provide the much
needed long ball punch in the
Indian outfield. Byrne, a
Montana State University star,
played briefly with Spokane
last year before being optioned
out for further seasoning.
Holland, who hits a long
ball, has never played pro
fessional baseball before and
didn't see any action daring
his school days. Osborn re
gards him as a definite pros
pect although he may not be
able to crack A class ball this
year.
Catching Is one of Spokane's
strongest departments with Bill
Sheets back for regular duty. 1
Sheets caught in 150 of Spo
kan's 154 games last year, a
league record.
, George Trlandos, up from
the Salt Lake City Bees. Bill
Weatherwax, Just returned
from service, and Dan Linton,
on option from the Phils, are
the catching reserves.
The over-all picture finds the
Indians stronger in the hitting
department, slightly improved
in the outfield and likely to be
considerably Improved .in
